7. STOPPING THE ENGINE

Move the throttle lever to the STOP position (See Fig.

I2).

When the mower is not in use, turn the petrol tap to the

OFF position to prevent the possibility of carburetor

ooding, and to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

8. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (See Fig.K)

WARNING! STOP THE ENGINE, AND WAIT FOR

BLADE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. The

blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched

off, a rotating blade can cause injury.

CAUTION: Do not touch rotating blades.

For the rst cutting of the season, a high cutting

adjustment should be selected.

The lawnmower can be set to 10 cutting heights

between 19mm and 70mm. For this purpose, move the

Cutting Height Adjustment Lever (14) outwards then

adjust to the preferred position.

Fig.K

9. MOWING

Always observe the strictest safety

procedures when using the lawnmower.

Carefully read the safety instructions of this manual

before using the lawn mower.

Start the engine and allow it run. See “Starting the

engine”.

When wish to start mowing, move the throttle lever to

its

FAST

position (See Fig. I2).

To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the

STOP

position (See Fig. I2).

Keep a rm grip on the upper handle and walk, never

run with the mower, be very careful when mowing

uneven or rough ground. Mow across slopes, never up

and down. Be careful when changing the direction of

the mower on a slope. Do not use the mower on a steep

slope of more than 20°.

The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry.

Wet grass will tend to clog the blade and the grass

collection system. Grass grows at different rates at

different time of the year.

Never use the lowest cutting height for the rst cut of

the season or in drought conditions. Only about one

thirds of the grass height should be cut.

If the lawnmower will not collect the cuttings efciently,

the grass discharge chute may be blocked. The grass

catcher may be full, or the underside of the mower deck

may be clogged.

10. EMPTY/ATTACH THE GRASS COLLECTION CATCHER

As soon as you see mown grass debris on the lawn, the

grass catcher needs to be emptied.

IMPORTANT! Before you remove the grass catcher,

move the throttle lever to the STOP position and wait

until the blade reaches a standstill.

1) To remove the grass catcher, raise the safety ap

with one hand and remove the grass catcher using

its handle with your other hand.

2) To maintain safety, the safety ap will close back to

cover the rear discharge opening, when you release

the ap.

3) Empty the grass debris in the glass collection

catcher, and ret glass catcher as above instruction.

4) If any grass residues are caught in the opening,

clean it using a pushing bar.

5) Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or

on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use

suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

6) To ensure that the cutting grass can be blown into

glass catcher, the discharge opening and inside the

mower casing must be cleared of any blockage.

WARNING!

Before you carry out any repairs

or servicing work on the mower, you must

ensure that the blade is not turning and that the spark

plug cap has been disconnected from the spark plug.

The lawnmower shall not be operated without either

the entire grass collection box or the guard in place.

11. REPLACING THE BLADE (See Fig. L)

Maintain the sharpness of the blade when cutting grass

if the blade has worn excessively and becomes pitted or

blunt it should be replaced. The sharpness of the blade

will affect the performance of the lawn mower.

For safety reasons we recommend that the blade will

only be changed by persons qualied and authorized

to do so.

WARNING!

Before replacing the blade, ensure

that the engine is switched off and the spark

plug cap is disconnected and moved away from the

spark plug.

1) You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a

spanner wrench to remove the blade.

2) Hold the blade and unscrew the blade bolt

counterclockwise using a spanner (not provided).

Remove the washer and the blade.

3) Fit a new blade and bolt kit, locate the blade on the

two studs on the blade ange and then replace the

washer and bolts. Make sure the blade is correctly

located, then rmly tighten the bolt. Do not over

tighten.

The up turn of the blade must project into the motor

compartment.

Always handle the blade with care-sharp edges could

cause injury USE GLOVES

Renew your metal blade after 50Hrs mowing or 2yrs

which ever is sooner regardless of condition.

If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a

new one.
